Germany’s largest airline company, Lufthansa, has announced that it will no longer provide service from Germany to Venezuela. The company previously offered a flight from Frankfurt to Caracas three times a week, but the flight will no longer be available as of June 17. A company spokesman Jose Manuel Gonzalez cited the challenging economic situation in Venezuela as the primary reason for the suspension. The primary problem for Lufthansa is that the Venezuelan government currently imposes currency controls that prevent airlines from transferring foreign currency out of the country. The spokesman also noted that the company has had trouble transferring currency into US dollars.

Lufthansa according to Gonzalez is not the only airline to discontinue service to Venezuela this year. In February, the Brazilian carrier GOL Linhas Aereas stopped offering service from Sao Paolo to Caracas for the same reasons that Lufthansa is suspending its flights to Venezuela. Other airlines, including Air Canada, American Airlines, and Delta Airlines, have also greatly reduced or discontinued flights to the struggling country since 2014.
What the suspension means for Venezuela remains to be seen. The economic situation in the country appears to be deteriorating, given the current food shortages and the low price of oil. Lufthansa’s decision to discontinue flights may further isolate the country from the global community. Nevertheless, some carriers, such as Air France and Aeromexico, will continue to offer flights to Venezuela, so the market may just shift to other airlines.

Phillip Diehl has been at the forefront of currency distribution operations throughout his career. His role is evident through his stints previously as the director of the U.S Mint and currently the CEO of the Us Money Reserve.

As the manager of the US Mint, Phillip’s role involved orienting and circulating the dollar around the country. He goes down in history as the chief campaigner for the abolition of the Penny.

In his argument, he cites the fact that the penny costs as much as twice its value to mint. Such costs present unsustainable economic practice in the US. Mr. Diehl also went out of his way to discredit the view that abolishing the penny would result in an inflation within the US economy.

If the penny were to cease circulation, only price adjustment measures would need implementation. For instance, rounding off cost figures would facilitate the elimination of the penny and wouldn’t necessarily result in price hikes.

Mr. Diehl’s legacy also features economic reforms in producing new currency especially the coins that utilize precious metals as raw materials.

Today, Phillip Diehl’s expertise is serving the US Money Reserve. The Phillip Diehl era of transformation and excellence anchors on the US Money Reserve’s founding principles of unmatched customer service, education and quality. In an economic period where Gold and other precious metals exhibit increased demand, the Reserve has had to reassure its customers and adjust to modern business methods.

The US Money Reserve is the appointed distributor of government issued silver, platinum and gold coin in the United States. Their status and affiliation to the government translates into the best quality precious metal products anywhere in the world.

The US Money Reserve assures its clients of the best quality of coin and bullion on the values of purity and weight. The company has achieved monumental success in educating investors and the American public of the benefits accruing to the ownership of precious metals.

In fact, the current economic volatility of financial markets prompts many Americans to convert their cash reserves into precious metals hence the current demand for Gold. Phillip Diehl leads by example as seen from his frequent media appearances and interviews. For instance, a recent interview with PR Newswire, Phillip addressed questions on the future of the US Money Reserve and its products and services.

Since its inception in the year 2001, the US Money Reserve continues to cement its position as an industry leader. Under Phillip Diehl, the firm can look forward to a new era of operation efficiency. It’s said the private company is currently implementing a new online business strategy that allows customers to access the gold market on their website.

In a single day of the year 1992, a billion dollar from the Bank of England was graciously pocketed by George Soros. Soros who was then 66 years and the Founder of Quantum Funds literally took the bank to its knees. This came about when he bet the British pound as the currency was struggling to be sustained due to the global recession.

Understanding the circumstances through which Soros made a fortune in just a day may require some basic know-how of exchange rate among countries. Also, you should have an idea of the macroeconomic tools various governments use stabilize their economy and making money through the use of hedge funds. Though hedge funds were not popular among the people then, it was through it which George Soros and his group of traders brought the British currency begging for help. This is recorded as the greatest financial bet during the 20th century.

The Genesis of this financial bet was when European countries after the World War II decided to come together under an umbrella of trade to boost their economy and bring them together to ensure their security and peace. This was also to enable them to compete favorably with the United States. This subsequently gave birth to the European Union which by that time didn’t have a single currency. So in 1979, the Union introduced a mechanism called the European Exchange Rate Mechanism on www.georgesoros.com/the-life-of-george-soros/ made respective countries set their exchange rate to others. This was to prevent the capital market being the dictator of their rates. The Deutschmarks was then used as the basis by which other countries will set their rate since Germany then, had the most resilient economy among its counterparts. So the exchange rate was agreed to be set at 6% plus or minus of their agreed rate.

With this deal, respective countries were required to also take part in the market since just living it into the hands of traders could be devastating and bring their economy into crises. So the management of currencies by governments on www.valuewalk.com/2016/05/george-soros-broke-gbp-trade-century/ is really a big deal as whether the currency would devalue or appreciate demands some strategic policy directions and implementations, especially when managing an economy with a fixed exchange rate.

Britain joined the ERM in 1990 and had to set its rate at 2.95 Deutschmark per Pound and was obliged to keep the exchange rate at 2.78 and 3.13 Deutschmark. George Soros and his team took advantage of an economic recession of the Britain and predicted the Pounds Sterling was going to fall and bet $1.5 billion which was later increased to $10 billion and they did this through the short stock procedure. As other people followed suit, the Pound eventually fell almost 15% to the Deutschmark and 25% to the dollar.

To Britain, it was a black Wednesday but to Soros and his allies, it was an awesome Wednesday

Michael Zomber has the kind of resume you don’t see every day. First and foremost a storyteller, he has written dozens of screenplays and historical fiction novels, including Sweet Betsy That’s Me: A Child of the Civil War and Shogun Iemitsu. On top of this, he strives to preserve history and has been collecting antique armor and arms for over 40 years. His expertise on this subject is widely known, with guest spots on the History Channel‘s Guns of the Famous and Guns of the Orient.

He is an internationally recognized authority on Japanese samurai swords, with a vast collection and the dedication to preserving the histories of armed conflicts. Because of his education on war and the tools of conflict, he is virulently anti-war and supports NGO’s that aim to prevent armed conflict throughout the world.

Arms and armor have been prized by many for centuries. Great leaders have commissioned art in the form of armor and arms, and Thomas Jefferson himself said, “One loves to possess arms”. Zomber continues the tradition of valuing and prizing tools of armed conflict for their historical, artistic, and monetary value. He strives to sell arms to those that recognize the value of these artifacts for future generations and hopes to find stewards like himself that will preserve his collections for our children.

Alongside Michael Zomber’s passion for history, his screenplays and historical novels are still in print and showcase his immense knowledge of history and war. Shogun Iemitsu in particular is a great love story told in the time of the Japanese samurai and dazzles with its breadth of historical accuracy and attention to detail. Jesus and the Samurai, his only non-fiction work, is a fascinating study of early Christianity and how it helped shape and mold Japanese samurai values. His forthcoming book, Soul of the Samurai, is a contemporary story about travelers of space and time that are united by their love of Zen Buddhism.

North Korea’s government subjects it’s people to incredibly harsh conditions. Not only are the people subjected to harsh conditions, but it is nearly impossible for the country’s citizens to ever leave. The country actively tries to stop people from leaving, and many have died from attempting to flee the country. However, there are a few people that have gotten out of the country alive. Yenomi Park is one of these individuals, and she has made her story publicly available on Youtube.com. This story is quite shocking, and it shows the atrocities that take place in North Korea. She says that during her time in North Korea, she didn’t even have the concept of what freedom was. Park’s escape from the country was certainly a difficult one, and she faced many struggles while escaping the country with members of her family. Unfortunately, her Dad didn’t make it out of the country alive. He died along the way, due to cancer that went untreated for too long.
It was extremely difficult for Yeonmi to make it to safety. Escaping from North Korea is no easy feat. To escape, she had to travel through China. In fact, she actually had to stay in China. The government there actively seeks out and brings back defectors from North Korea. So, Yenomi and her family had to actively evade the Chinese authorities. When she made it out of China, she was detained for a time in Mongolia, by authorities there. Luckily, she was ultimately able to make it out of Mongolia. She got a flight to South Korea, where she currently resides. Sadly, her father was never able to see freedom. He died along the way, from natural causes.

The North Korean authorities have attempted to discredit her story as false. They have said that she is operating as an agent of the United States. Yenomi Park has verified that this is not the case, and her story is true. Luckily, there are still many people that have heard her story and believed it. Her Amazon released novel about her journey to freedom has definitely been very inspirational for many people, and it will continue to be in the future.
